The correct Answer is:
To answer the question about the characteristics of disc florets of sunflower, we can break down the information as follows: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Structure of Sunflower**: - Sunflowers belong to the family Asteraceae and consist of many tiny flowers called florets. - These florets are categorized into two types: disc florets and ray florets. 2. **Identifying Disc Florets**: - Disc florets are located at the center of the sunflower's flower head. - They are small and numerous. 3. **Symmetry of Disc Florets**: - Disc florets exhibit actinomorphic symmetry, meaning they have radial symmetry. - This allows them to be symmetrical around a central axis. 4. **Ovary Position**: - The ovary of the disc florets is inferior, which means it is located below the other floral parts. - This condition is referred to as epigynous, indicating that the ovary is fused with the hypanthium (the floral cup). 5. **Conclusion**: - Based on the characteristics discussed, the disc florets of sunflowers are actinomorphic and epigynous. ### Final Answer: The disc florets of sunflower are actinomorphic and epigynous. ---

  • In 1919, H. S. Reed and R. H. Holland published a paper on the growth of sunflowers. Included in the paper were the table and graph above, which show the height h, in centimeters, of a sunflower t days after the sunflower begins to grow. The function h, defined by h(t) = at + b , where a and b are constants, models the height, in centimeters, of the sunflower after t days of growth during a time period in which the growth is approximately linear. What does a represent?

    A
    The predicted number of centimeters the sunflower grows each day during the period
    B
    The predicted height, in centimeters, of the sunflower at the beginning of the period
    C
    The predicted height, in centimeters, of the sunflower at the end of the period
    D
    The predicted total increase in the height of the sunflower, in centimeters, during the period
